Description:
On Friday, February 6, 2026, at 4:00 PM,
at Villa Argentina, Via Vespucci 44 in Viareggio (Lucca),
"Solilunio: racconti a colori" (Solilunio: Tales in Color), a solo exhibition by painter Valente Taddei, opens.
On display are a series of recent oil and ink paintings on paper: concise, narrative works in which a tiny individual—the unmistakable protagonist of Taddei's work—finds himself in situations constantly teetering between irony and paradox.
The artist offers a metaphorical reading of the human condition, subtly ironically deemphasizing the sense of emptiness and transience that humans can experience when faced with their own destiny.
Born in Viareggio in 1964, Valente Taddei, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, has an extensive exhibition history, with numerous solo and group exhibitions both in Italy and abroad.
He has created illustrations for book covers (for Mauro Baroni Editore, Viareggio; Giulio Einaudi Editore, Turin; Alberto Gaffi Editore, Rome; FrancoAngeli Edizioni, Milan) and music CDs, for magazines (Notizie Lavazza, Cfr:), and for websites.
In 2008, he illustrated 10 unpublished plates for the essay "Pandora, la prima donna" by Jean-Pierre Vernant, published by Einaudi in the "L'Arcipelago" series.
He designed the logo and official poster for the 2013 edition of EuropaCinema, an international film festival based in Viareggio, and the official poster for the 2014 Pietrasantino Carnival.
In 2020 and 2026, the newspaper Il Tirreno commissioned him to create the Viareggio Carnival poster for its readers.
The exhibition, curated by Gianni Costa, is organized by the Mercurio Arte Contemporanea gallery of Viareggio in collaboration with the Province of Lucca and is sponsored by the Viareggio Carnival Foundation.
It is open until March 14, 2026, with the following hours:
Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 am - 1:00 pm;
Tuesday and Friday, also open from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
Free admission.
